Keeping Ice Frozen


Problem: What material, bubble wrap or tin foil, will keep ice frozen the longest?

Research:Tin foil:is made of metal and metal is a condution of matter. Bubble wpap:is plastic and plastic is (?)(explain what a conductor does by definition.)

Hypothesis:If the tin foal keeps things cold then the ice will stay ice longer than the bubble rape

Materials: 2 ice cubes, bubble wrap,tin foil, timer

Procedure:

1.) Using a scale weigh the ice cube.
2.) Wrap an ice cube in tin foil and set on tray.
3.) Wrap another ice cube in bubble wrap and set on tray.
4.) Wait 30 minutes.
5.) After 30 minutes, unwrap each package.
6.) Weigh the ice cube again.
7.) Write the observations in the chart.


Results:

Material	Observations
Tin Foil	nine and a half grames shinny metal ice cube didn't melt all the way
Bubble Wrap	8 grames bubble wrap pops made the ice cube melt faster bubble wrap is thick

How much did the ice cubes weigh after 30 minutes?

Conclusion:My hypothesis was right because the tin foil keeped the ice cube an ice cube longer. (Use your results to support this)

I can state a hypothesis related to the problem and procedure.	I can conduct research about concepts that are related to the topic I am investigating.	I can collect quantitative/qualitative data while conducting an experiment.	I can use the data in my results to draw a conclusion about what happened and why.	Overall, I can apply the scienctific method to solve a problem.	Total
